Dive Philippines

If you like to dive the Philippines is the place to retire to do it. Just search the many sites relating to diving in the Philippines and Philippine Dive Resorts. The water is clear and the water temperature is very comfortable and you are guaranteed to see things underwater that you will not see anywhere. Check out a video I enjoyed from YouTube and think about making a trip to dive in the Philippines.

Alaminos City-Hundred Islands

The following is a video of the place in the Philippines where I go when I want to get away from the city or crowds. My wife and I are actually having a beach house built on land she inherited and it should be finished sometime this year. If you are looking for loud parties and lots of people this is not the place to go but if you want a place to lie on the beach or snorkel or sailboat it’s the perfect place. My thanks to the Alaminos City Planning & Development Office for making this video.

Malls of Manila

Many times people ask me why I would want to retire in the Philippines and I say one of the best reasons is the shopping. There are many malls close to where I live including Mall of Asia and The Mall at the Fort. I recently found a video on YouTube highlighting just about all the malls I’ve visited in Manila. Thanks to the person who recorded it and I hope you all enjoy it.

This video highlights golf in Boracay and shows the true beauty of the island. I will soon be spending at least a week every year on this island and my mouth is already watering!

Did you know that Google loves to rank Web 2 properties on page one many times overnight… My friend Howie just put out a NEW PDF revealing SIX new Web 2.0 sites that Google loves to rank. The cool part is they are not well known by the masses and you can use them to rank almost instantly. Even cooler, you can keep your wallet in your pants because he’s giving it all away. Warning though, he said he’s taking the PDF down in the next day so you need to hurry…  click here

Cheaper Flights From U.S to Philippines?

Since I travel so much from the U.S. and other destinations to the Philippines I keep a good eye on the prices of flights on the discount flight and hotel websites. While doing my daily scan I noticed a couple of low priced flights for the person who would be leaving for the Philippines soon. I’m talking within the next two weeks. First I found on CheapOair.com a flight from JFK airport in New York to Manila via Hong Kong coming in at $709 including taxes and fees. This is for a round trip airfare on Cathay Pacific, one of my favorite airlines to fly on. The service and everything on this airlines has always been top notch. This is a one stop flight with about an hour stopover in Hong Kong which would be about enough time to get a cup of coffee and head to the departing gate. Like I said I looked for the 14th of August with a return flight of 14 September. On the other side of the United States from LAX Los Angeles a flight on Asiana Air going through Seoul Korea on the same days would cost you $591. These are good prices and if you don’t live near Los Angeles or New York a flight there from just about anywhere in the U.S. should be $200 or less if you shop around. If you are planning to go to Manila I would advise you to keep your dates flexible and keep checking the sites for deals because getting to Manila and back for less than $1,000 is always good.

The skating rink was the venue for Skate Asia 2007 which was the first time the Philippines had ever hosted an international ice skating even. The mall also has an outdoor Music Hall which directly faces the sea and is often the site for popular concerts and events. Check out a video of this beautiful mall below.
